Question
My daughter is 5 years old. This week, she said her ear hurts, and the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, she has a buzzing sound in her ear and a slight fever. How should I treat her otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and painkillers can be appropriately administered if the child’s ear pain is severe. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be performed. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
